The Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League, all important competitions in their own right, but not half as emotional as a squad game of FIFA 17. The EA Sports competition coasted into the red half of Manchester as the United boys were split into two teams. Team Pog vs Team Roo.
The full team line-ups saw Paul Pogba's victorious team of David De Gea, Ashley Young and Timothy Fosu-Mensah taking on Wayne Rooney's team consisting of himself, Anthony Martial, Daley Blind and Jesse Lingard. A tense 1-0 win at home, Mourinho would have been proud – Pogba's missile from range proving to be the decisive goal. #Pogboom and all that.
Paul Pogba making all the noise as the United boys got stuck right into the game, they even kitted right up for full effect, minus De Gea's gloves, which is understandable, suppose. Rumour has it Ashley Young even hit the deck every time someone challenged him. Lovely stuff, far more exciting than the reality of Rooney sat on his sofa at home in nothing but his pants trying to win the World Cup with England and furiously restarting every time he conceded to Algeria in the group stage. "NO KIDS, you can't have a go."
